I see Steelers gettings sacks.
I see the worried look on the face of the GB quarterback as he looks up at the scoreboard.
I see water being dumped onto the Steeler's head coach as the Steelers celebrate their win.

I am a Cincinnati fan, so it is nice to see an AFC North team in the Super Bowl on the one hand, but the Steelers are our sworn enemies so I don't like them to succeed so much =P I do have a lot of respect for the Ravens, though.

Anyway, I love Aaron Rodgers, Greg Jennings, Driver, Woodson, Matthews. I also feel really bad for Jermichael Finley getting hurt early in the season. He is really damn good athlete. So my heart is with the Packers and think they have a good chance of winning, but honestly I am surprised they are the favorites. I would have thought for sure that the Steelers would be favored by 6 or so. The Packers seem to be the "hotter" team right now, but the Steelers have the experience.

In summary, GO PACKERS! :)

I am super excited for the Bowl! Go Packers, we will be watching our beloved team from home this year cheering them on none the less. Luckily we do have some pretty cool equipment for this event. I work for Dish Network and due to that I have been able to get some pretty wicked equipment to hook up my HD Theater system. I actually got the qualified HD free for life on programming so we are saving money. We will be watching our Packers reign to victory from a comfortable amazing brilliance right form the screen.

The Packers defense will win this game, not the offense.

I think you'll be wrong, Badger. I don't think the Packer D will be on the field a whole lot.

Because their Offense will rock the house? Or because the Steelers will score so often and so fast it will seem like they aren't there? I hope the former :)

[digitalprophet]

12:48 AM on 02/02/2011

I disagree.. While their D is pretty tough, I think Aaron Rodgers is going to light up the air. Greg Jennings will have a 50+ yard TD reception.. If not him, Donald Driver :)

I'd like to see Green Bay take it. In fact, I believe that they have more desire and drive for this one. I say they take it.

So To all those Steelers fans out there that think they are synch to win. I'm a neutral party fan a Rams fan actually, and I have the pack winning this game 27-13. When I look at these teams Aaron Rodgers wins in QB efficiency and effectiveness. I'll take the GB O-line> the Steelers O-line any day. The Packers have 2 #1 WRs and the rest of them could be legit #2s. Starks has been beast although it won't do much against a pretty good steelers run defense, but since when has the Pack NEEDED to run the ball??? They have in my opinion the most versatile passing attack in the NFL great WRs and a QB that can get it done in any area of the field and with his legs. As far as defense, we always talk about the Great steelers defense, but its really a 1 man show we saw how much they sucked without Polamalu, this game he can't shut-down a single WR with over the top coverage, he's going to be stretched out, confused, and won't know where the ball is going. The Packers secondary led by a man named oh right?? Charles Woodson any1?? Defending Defensive Player of the Year??? and then of course u add in a beast D-line led by BJ Raji, and Clay Matthews is going to get to big ben, wrap him up and drag him down, have u seen his biceps?

Don't be fooled. They only give Greenbay the favor because they want Pittsburgh to win and they wanna jinx them. The team pitted to win rarely wins. This is just fuel for the steelers and a hope to get Greenbay over confident. Beware Greenbay! these people know this game. They bet Steelers but favor you to win. Stop the Steelers they think theyre the underdogs, but they have mvp referees to back them up. If they win the superbowl mvp will go to none other than the striped man. Big Ben apparantly youve changed so ill stop hatin on you, but i sure do hope you regret the touchdown u shouldnt have got, and i hope the whole team realizes that if that and a key seahawks touchdown were called right the game would have gone in a completely different way and history would be changed. unfortunately even history thats unfair is still history.

Yeah, Steelers fans are already crying "fix" on Twitter. Says a lot about Steeler fans.

Yeah.. I am a Bengals fan so I have to hear Steelers fans bitching about everything every game. The AFC North sweep last year was so freaking sweet.. But it seems as if things are headed downhill now for the Bengals. We moved from being terrible to pretty damn good and have unfortunately peaked. If we didn't get it done this year, we are pretty screwed. TO will be gone, Carson wants out, Chad is going to go diva on us again, kicker issues, Marvin seems to have lost his touch, etc. etc.. On the bright side they fired the O-Coordinator who I have ALWAYS hated. He is terrible at play calling.

Safe to say it's gonna be a pretty awesome game. Quick fact, Big Ben has his own brand of beef jerky. lol who knew? got it from this infographic along with some other random facts about Super Bowl XLV : http://www.mycheapapartments.com/blog/Crazy-Cribs/Super-Bowl-XLV-By-the-Numbers

Anyone here going to the game?
If so, did you buy a ticket or get one as a perk?
As much as I like football and the Packers...this is ridiculous.
Its become a corporate event, just like BCS Bowl games.
Why on earth would you pay that much for a ticket when you can watch it on your big screen and get play by plays, replays, MUCH cheaper beer and food, etc?

[ladyvader]

04:51 PM on 01/27/2011

If I was able to get tickets at face value, I would go if the Packers were in the game. But I wouldn't pay thousands of dollars. And the reason I would go is because I can then say I was at a Super Bowl.

Absolutely a scam.I love the Pack but I would never pay that kind of money to go to Jerry's shrine to himself! 200 Bucks to watch the game on a jumbo tron.
